Here's How Remnants Of Former Hurricane Nate Will Impact Connecticut's Weather
Connecticut will be impacted by the remnants of Nate on Columbus Day and here's what to expect.
This isn’t the best forecast for Connecticut as we’ll see plenty of clouds this week and the remnants of former Hurricane Nate will bring heavy rain and wind to the state on Monday. The silver lining to the forecast is the weather actually looks to improve next weekend with plenty of sunshine and temps rebounding into the 70s.
Connecticut could see another inch of rain on Monday and there is a chance for more rain on Wednesday too. It will feel more like fall in the middle of the week with temps only in the low 60s. NBC Connecticut's Bob Maxon said, “Heavy rain and strong winds will be moving through the state today as we see the remnants of Nate.”
WTNH News 8 Meteorologist Gil Simmons said ,”Here's your Monday #instacast full of showers & wind today followed by sun, low humidity & warmth tomorrow! Have a great day & let's grab a hold of this week!”
